Description
The grapes for this wine stem from nine different vineyards, nearly all of which have iron and fossil-rich cambisol soil.
The intention with the Johanneshöhe interpretation is to express a particular lightness in Blaufränkisch. Elegance, drinkability and fruit are the focus while tannin, power and spice remain satisfied in supporting roles. Please don’t understand this wrong. Depth, balance and intensity still have highest priority in Johanneshöhe; they are simply bedded on a more airy foundation.

Taste
A refined expression of Blaufränkisch, filled with tart and ripe dark fruit: boysenberry, blackberries, damson plums, and black cherry. The fruit fills the nose and follows onto the palate. Behind the fruit are subtle notes of black pepper, star anise and dried, dusty earth. The wine is dry, medium bodied, with finely integrated tannins and a bright, refreshing finish.
